Fluid Mechanics of Planets and Stars
This book explores the dynamics of planetary and stellar fluid layers, including atmospheres, oceans, iron cores, and convective and radiative zones in stars, describing the different theoretical, computational and experimental methods used to study these problems in fluid mechanics, including the advantages and limitations of each method for different problems. This scientific domain is by nature interdisciplinary and multi-method, but while much effort has been devoted to solving open questions within the various fields of mechanics, applied mathematics, physics, earth sciences and astrophysics, and while much progress has been made within each domain using theoretical, numerical and exper...
It's The Sun, Not Us
Earth’s climate is changing—it always has and always will. The cause may be debated, but “man-made global warming” has become the accepted narrative and “Big Oil” the popular villain. Anyone daring to challenge this “consensus” is attacked: smeared, demonized as a “denier,” even threatened. Researchers who refuse to toe the line are discredited, dismissed as incompetent, and blacklisted, regardless of their expertise, experience, or credentials. This is not how science is conducted. But not everyone can be silenced. The author of this book is not incompetent. Nor was he paid to write it. He’s just someone who cares about the truth: a scientist, with a broad understandin...
Earth's Core
Earth's Core: Geophysics of a Planet's Deepest Interior provides a multidisciplinary approach to Earth's core, including seismology, mineral physics, geomagnetism, and geodynamics. The book examines current observations, experiments, and theories; identifies outstanding research questions; and suggests future directions for study. With topics ranging from the structure of the core-mantle boundary region, to the chemical and physical properties of the core, the workings of the geodynamo, inner core seismology and dynamics, and core formation, this book offers a multidisciplinary perspective on what we know and what we know we have yet to discover. The book begins with the fundamental material...
Dynamos
Dynamos is a collection of lectures given in July 2007 at the Les Houches Summer School on "Dynamos". - Provides a pedagogical introduction to topics in Dynamos - Addresses each topic from the basis to the most recent developments - Covers the lectures by internationally-renowned and leading experts
Mechanics Down Under
The 22nd International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (ICTAM) of the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics was hosted by the Australasian mechanics community in the city of Adelaide during the last week of August 2008. Over 1200 delegates met to discuss the latest development in the fields of theoretical and applied mechanics. This volume records the events of the congress and contains selected papers from the sectional lectures and invited lectures presented at the congresses six mini-symposia.
Comment va la Terre? Climat et réchauffement
La question divise les experts depuis des années: la Terre est-elle en train de se réchauffer? Pire, la Terre est-elle en train de mourir? Cet ouvrage discute ainsi des interrogations de chacun sur la problématique du climat en suivant une approche scientifique. L'inventaire des phénomènes et évènements qui ont une incidence sur le climat nous permet de répondre objectivement à plusieurs questions: que comprenons-nous aujourd'hui? Sommes-nous capables d'isoler les mécanismes et les effets de chaque phénomène? Pouvons-nous effectuer des prévisions et à quelle échéance? Parmi l'ensemble des phénomènes qui entrent en jeu, pouvons-nous discerner la part due aux activités humaines sur le climat mondial? Glaciation, réchauffement, pollution, effet de serre, nucléaire, activité solaire... Jean-Claude Merlin tâte le pouls de notre planète et nous embarque pour un voyage instructif dans l'univers fascinant de la climatologie. Se basant sur les travaux des chercheurs, son étude se veut la plus factuelle possible, mais a le mérite d'ouvrir le débat en sachant sortir des idées reçues.
